意味
Inquiring about the cost of something.
文化的背景
Prices in Finland are almost always fixed. Haggling is rare except at flea markets (kirpputori) or when buying expensive items like cars. The price you see is the price you pay. Value Added Tax (ALV) is always included in the price shown to consumers. Tipping is not part of Finnish culture. The 'hinta' covers the service and the product entirely. Finns value honesty. If you ask 'Mikä on hinta?', you will get a direct answer without hidden fees.
The 'Mikä' Rule
Always use 'Mikä' when the next word is 'hinta'. It's a fixed grammatical pair.
No Articles
Don't try to say 'the price'. Just 'hinta' is enough.

よくある質問
10 問Yes, it is perfectly polite and neutral. Adding 'kiitos' (thank you) at the end makes it even better.
In very informal settings or at a busy market, you can, but it might sound a bit abrupt.
Because 'hinta' is a countable noun in the nominative case here. 'Mitä' is used for uncountable things or with verbs.
Use the plural: 'Mitkä ovat hinnat?'
No, tipping is not expected in Finland. The price is final.
Then 'Mikä on hinta?' is exactly what you should say to the staff.
No, only for objects, services, or abstract costs.
Use the past tense: 'Mikä oli hinta?'
Yes, it is common in professional inquiries and emails.
You might hear 'Paljo tää kustantaa?' or 'Mitä tää on?'.
